- The Red Bull Shot
Red Bull recently released its latest creation to the growing energy drink market: The Red Bull Shot.
The 2 oz. concentrated version of the original looks to compete with other, new alternatives to energy drinks such as “5-Hour Energy.” The plastic bottle is around the same size, and with its lack of carbonation, contains that same syrupy, medicinal tastes.
Red Bull Energy Shot also costs more at than its original cousin. At $2.79 a pop (compared to $2 per 8oz. can), the Shot will seem hardly worth the money.
As for the lasting energy? The Shot contains 80mgs of caffeine, the exact same amount as the original. The only people who might benefit from this new marketing ploy are those who don’t have time to chug 8oz. bottle and need the 2oz. alternative.

As a public health safety, please pass on this email to all the contacts in your address book especially those with teenage children… and make copies to show to all the people you know…
This drink is SOLD in all the supermarkets IN OUR country… and our children ARE CONSUMING IT ON A TRIAL BASIS… IT can be mortal…
RED BULL was created to stimulate the brains in people who are subjected to great physical force and in “stress coma” and never to be consumed like an innocent drink or soda pop. RED BULL IS the energizer DRINK that is commercialized world-wide with its slogan:
‘It increases endurance; awakens the concentration capacity and the speed of reaction, offers more energy and improves the mood. All this can be found in a can of RED BULL, the power drink of the millennium.!
‘Red Bull has managed to arrive at almost 100 countries worldwide. The RED BULL logo is targeted at young people and sportsmen, two attractive segments that have been captivated by the stimulus that the drink provides.
It was created by Dietrich Mateschitz, an industrialist of Austrian origin who discovered the drink by chance. It happened during a business trip to Hong Kong , when he was working at a factory that manufactured toothbrushes.
The liquid, based on a formula that contained caffeine and taurine, caused a rage in that country. Imagine the grand success of this drink in Europe where the product still did not exist, besides it was a superb opportunity to become an entrepreneur.
BUT THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS DRINK IS ANOTHER THING:
FRANCE and DENMARK have just prohibited it as a cocktail of death, due to its vitamin components mixed with GLUCURONOLACTONE’ , a highly dangerous chemical, which was developed by the United States Department of Defense during 60 years to stimulate the moral of the troops based in VIETNAM, which acted like a hallucinogenic drug that calmed the stress of the war.
But their effects in the organism were so devastating, that it was discontinued, because of the high index of cases of migraines, cerebral tumors and diseases of the liver that was evident in the soldiers who consumed it.
And in spite of it, in the can of RED BULL you can still find as one of its components: GLUCURONOLACTONE, categorized medically as a stimulant.
But what it does not say on the can of RED BULL, are the consequences of its consumption, and that has forced us to place a series of WARNINGS:
1. It is dangerous to take it if you do not engage in physical exercise afterwards, since its energizing function accelerates the heart rate and can cause a sudden attack.
2. You run the risk of undergoing a cerebral hemorrhage, because RED BULL contains components that dilute the blood so that the heart utilizes less energy to pump the blood, and thus be able to deliver physical force with less effort being exerted.
3. It is prohibited to mix RED BULL with alcohol, because the mixture turns the drink into a “Deadly Bomb” that attacks the liver directly, causing the affected area never to regenerate anymore.
4. One of the main components of RED BULL is the B12 vitamin, used in medicine to recover patients who are in a coma; from here the hypertension and the state of excitement which is experienced after taking it, as if you were in a drunken state.
5. The regular consumption of RED BULL triggers off symptoms in the form of a series of irreversible nervous and neuronal diseases.
CONCLUSION: It is a drink that should be prohibited in the countries of the Caribbean and Latin America , (and the entire world) as it is already waking up other nations because when it is mixed with alcohol it creates a time bomb for the human body, mainly between innocent adolescents and adults with little experience.
REPORT of. D. KHALET GEBARA, MD. UCLA University , California , the USA
Where’d that report come from? It reads like a third world bank account phishing spam…
GLUCURONOLACTONE (in caps due to being big and scary) is a naturally occurring product of glucose both found in the liver and plants, not some lab-built war chemical. Like everything in unhealthy amounts, consuming 2kg or more is going to be a problem.
OT though, these energy ‘shots’ are up there on ‘get rich on ignorance’ stage with tummy-fat targeting exercise machines and fat pills. Rubbish.
That’s an urban legend, moron. GLUCURONOLACTONE is NOT a drug and it has never been banned.
Certainly got us thinking here are work, expect a few replies later.
5 hour energy from a 2 oz. concentrated version of Red Bull can, drink it the right way and you’ll be full of energy…
I really miss the red bull shot. It is great for people who have had bariatric surgery who cannot have carbonation.The others don’t seem to work as well
